Coldplay kiss cam recorder reveals real reason she filmed viral moment - 'I don't feel guilty'

The woman who caught the Coldplay kiss cam couple on camera and uploaded it to social has revealed the real reason she captured the footage in her first British live TV interview.

The viral clip saw Coldplay's Chris Martin turn a camera on the audience at his Boston gig, showing a number of fans on the arena's kiss cam. However, the camera caught Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, and his Head of HR, Kristin Cabot, in an intimate embrace before the pair tried to hide their faces.

Byron, who is married, handed in his resignation at the weekend following the scandal. Meanwhile, the technology company said in a statement on social media: "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.

"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."

Appearing on This Morning via video link, the clip's poster Grace Springer opened up about filming the moment - admitting that she was only recording as she hoped that she would appear on the Coldplay jumbotron.

"I was hoping to see myself on the big screen and I love to capture moments so that's why my phone was out in the first place," she said. "I was being hopeful."

"So in the moment when I filmed it, I didn't think much of it but everyone was chattering. There was over 50,000 people at the concert. It wasn't until after the concert when I was debriefing the moment with my friends. We reviewed the footage to see if it really looked that bad and it really does."

When asked by Dermot whether she felt guilty about posting the video, she said: "I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan and his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process.

"But like I said, there was over 50,000 people and I'm not the only one who caught it on camera so if it wasn't me who uploaded it, I'm sure someone else would have."

Despite racking up millions of views on TikTok, Grace admitted that she hadn't earnt a single penny from the clip.

"I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views. It's not monetized," she said.
